I'm taking 5 classes next semester and they're all paid for by the grant that I applied for. But I'm not sure what that will do to my tax return. I usually get about 500 dollars on my tax return, but if I use that grant, I'm not sure how that will affect my tax return.
My job gives me tuition reimbursement, so I pay for the classes and at the end of the semester they reimburse me most of the money I spent.

Does anyone know what using that grant will do to my tax return?

Thanks.

You need the advice of a tax professional. There may be some here, but usually tax advice is specific and is tailored to your situation. Generalities won't help, and could result in something unpleasant for you at the end of the year. Good luck.
